San Francisco's Board of Supervisors granted newly elected Mayor Daniel Lurie greater powers to expedite the city's response to its fentanyl and homelessness crisis.

Cash-strapped San Francisco is betting on a new way to pay for its fight against a deadly fentanyl crisis: appealing to the city’s wealthy elite.

In a city that arguably invented the notion of “good vibes” in the counterculture 1960s, newly minted San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is looking to lead a vibe shift in a town whose aura has been clouded, and not just by fog rolling in off the Bay.

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is set to empower Mayor Daniel Lurie to tackle the city's fentanyl crisis by expediting contract processes and adding shelter beds, amidst concerns of oversight and effectiveness.

The ordinance will allow Mayor Daniel Lurie's administration to bypass bidding processes that can take months and swiftly enter into contracts to address addiction and homelessness.
